A hernia is the abnormal exit of tissue or an organ it occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it on the place. For instance, the intestines may break through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Most of the hernia occurs in the abdomen between the chest and hips, but they can also appear in the areas including upper thigh and groin. Moreover, hernias aren’t that immediate life-threatening but they don't go away on their own and in some cases require surgery to prevent dangerous complications. The symptom of a hernia is a bulge or lump in the affected area. Additionally, the hernia is caused by a combination of muscle weakness and strain, and depending on its cause it develops quickly or over a long period of time. In addition, causes of muscle weakness or strain that lead to hernia include damage from an injury or surgery, aging, developed in the womb and present from birth, chronic coughing or COPD, strenuous exercise, multiple pregnancies, chronic constipation, obesity, or fluid in the abdomen.

Market Dynamics

The rising prevalence of hernia cases, especially inguinal hernia and technological advancement in the devices to operate hernia is supporting the market growth. The rapidly increasing geriatric population and obesity are further increasing the risk of developing hernia in the people. Rising adoption of tension-free repair procedures, advancement in the mesh materials like biological mesh, and surging demand for robotic surgeries are some of the factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, the development of novel products by key manufacturers such as biological mesh and high market potential in untapped emerging economies are some of the factors projected to create potential opportunities over the forecast period from 2020 to 2027.

On the other side, the high cost associated with the hernia repair surgeries and inconsistent reimbursement policies are some of the factors projected to restrict the market growth.
